Is what I know enough?

I ask a similar question earlier. I'll ask another in a different way.



I myself some plumbing. I know how to change all the taps and shower in my house. I also know how to change the water pipes leading to the taps. I further know how to change the larger pipes that drains the water away from the sink. I also know how to install a new sink if I want to.



I also know how to install new lightings in our house, how to fix them to the ceiling, etc. I also know know how to change all the wall electric socket and add new ones through drilling.



I also know how to repair the heaters and coolers in my house. I know how to clean them of dust and dirt, and I know how to tear them apart and assembled them together.



Likewise, I also know how to basically service my car. I know how to change the car battery and I also know how to service and change the carburettor and fuel injector. But for this, there is still a lot to be learnt.



Of late, I am lucky to be able to toy with jet engines.Is what I know enough?
I don't understand the question......Enough for what??????

OK, I know what you mean now....I too live in the west, the SF Bay area, where the GAS is the highest in the nation.....Even though we have refineries....Bunch of rip-offs....

But anyway, I also know how to do just about everything you know except jet engines....But as every bodies parents, teachers, etc.etc. say, you can never learn enough.....

You were put on this earth for a reason.....So soak up all the knowledge that you can, and try to perfect it, after you do that you can build up the speed....That's how you can make your money.....

But to answer your question, no matter what you know, your always going to have to spend money to have somebody do what you can't.....Like the computer your writing this on.....That's life and the almighty DOLLAR.....

I hope I answered your question........Is what I know enough?
Thank you.

Sounds like your comfortable in your own world, but what if things change?

Things are evolving and if you don't stay on top of it what you know wont be enough, you will need help from someone who does.Is what I know enough?
It depends on what you want to do with that knowledge.



If you want to work on your own house, car, etc., and you're willing to foot the bill for any learning (whether it be via mistakes that you need to correct, or time spent figuring out things that a professional would already know), then you're home-free.



OTOH, if you want to work on other people's houses, cars or airplanes, you'll need to become licensed or certified. You'll either need to get formal training or be picked up as an apprentice by someone who's already a master and is willing to let you work your way up.



The one positive aspect of your self-acquired knowledge is that you will likely find any formal training to be easier than someone who's starting from square one.Is what I know enough?
